Hope my lady doesn't go into labour tonight.

Oh that reminds me of a prayer request. I have several ladies who are due to give birth between now and the middle of January. Can you please pray that none of them overlap? December is a busy time for babies. Thank you.

Ok Dippy... gone now! Just one more click on active convos................. lol

Quick link to martainbishop's thread re: her DH

Tut! Tut!

Will pray those ladies are "very convienient" in their "labouring" during this Festive time!

Erm.

I am not here.

Honest.

Mwah! Thank you darling. Really gone this time. My eyes are starting to hurt!

Morning all - Ben up since obscene O'Clock with DD2 - maaaavellous!

How is everyone??

Our dawn chorus has been up since 6 o'clock... . Let me tell you, 3 children is a LOT noisier than 2 in the mornings!

Praying for a good day for everyone!

Terrible morning here in this house. In fact so bad that I have sent ds to playgroup even though his cathetar only came out on Monday.

DD 1 has kicked off - no one listens to her, everyone speaks over her blah, blah, blah. Her Dad is the worst thing on earth.

DD2 has attitude of a I don't know what.

dd3 has been fine actually

ds was as miserable as sin yesterday and even worse today - nothing wrong with him just refusal to eat, wash, do teeth anything really.

Mum went home this morning and I wish I could just leave. sat here wrapping christmas presents feeling like I could cry, so its unreal.

Don't know what to do to help any of them anymore, just want to curl up and die.

lwtg - [[[hugs]] Praying hard for you honey RIGHT NOW - Wishing I could do more to help you - email me if you need to be more personal....

Praying here too longway

lwtg, I am visualising God giving you a big hug, stroking your hair and taking all of your sorrow away. Then planting a tiny seed of hope inside you that will just grow and grow and grow.

MaryBS thanks so much for the proverb, it has really inspired me not to retalliate (sp?).

Great big hugs to the wonderful fellowship on here - you all inspire me to try harder and let go of things that don't matter. Thank you all and thankyou God for letting me find these people!!

could I ask for some prayers for DH and I. I'm pg - but it wasn't planned - infact I took the morning after pill which DH asked me to take - obviously it didn't work. He initially wanted me to abort but when I said I couldn't do it he agreed to support me.

Until yesterday I thought he'd 'come round' to the idea of having another DC - but after a long heart to heart it transpires that he's still trying to come to terms with it. Our relationship was a little 'unsteady' before all this happened so obviously this is putting us under even more strain.

I've got my dating scan this afternoon, which DH is coming to, and I'm hoping and praying that once he sees the baby on the screen he'll start to come round.

It was a huge shock for both of us that I fell pg, really 'bad' timing (if there's such a thing as 'good timing' LOL), only just clawing our way out of massive debt and a house that really needs quite a lot of 'remedial' work (such as sorting out apparent damp issues [frown]) not to mention that we work opposite shifts from each other so hardly see much of on another on a 'good' day - obviously this DC3 is going to put even more strain on us - and I'm really worried that he's not going to come round easily to accepting DC3.

Praying for you this afternoon FA.

God bless all

girls you are such wonderful wonderful people and I feel really quilty because I seem to be doing so much taking and not a lot of giving.

Thanks guys for your really God inspired verses, just praying that it all starts to sink in and things really start to change.

I think part of the problem is is that when it all first happened we kind of had a brand new relationship and it felt alive, warm and right but now i guess 18 months down the line the initial romance/newness if you like has gone and its down to the nitty gritty of life.

We have done so much in 18 months, lost jobs - got new jobs, lost house - bought our own house, lost company car - bought our own cars etc etc. We have a completly different life now compared with what we had and I don't think our heads are quite around it all. Plus don't think we have quite learned through all this to communicate with each other as we should which was part of the initial problem, so maybe thats why I'm so scared that it will all go wrong again.

fannyannie when I fell pregnant with no 4 no 3 was only 5 months old and although I didn't take the morning after pill or even talk about termination it took me months to come round. I cried and cried because as I could see it I already had a baby that had taken us 5 years to concieve and now she was 5 months and I was pregnant again. I really didn't want another baby and thought there would be no way I would ever want or love this baby.

I guess it took me until I was about 7 months to really feel at ease and I was carrying him so if it had been my dh that struggled then maybe it would have taken even longer.

What about getting in touch with relate and putting all those things that are not right in your relationship right before this little one is born.

Praying for you hun x

Fannieannie, you poor things, but I would take your heart to heart with your DH as a positive step, he has been so brave actually telling you how he really really feels, takes alot of courage to do that, and yes maybe once he has seen the scan with you it will ease his anxiousness about it all.

Well done on the communication front!

I'm praying the good Lord gives you strength and happiness for the future!

Good luck!

Ooops! Fannyannie

that's true sleepysoz - didn't think of it that way - I suppose I should be grateful that he's been honest with me about how he feels.

Have to confess I'm getting nervous now - not about how we're going to cope, or with how DH will come to terms with it, but about the scan - just so scared that I'll be told that I've had a missed miscarriage, or even a blighted ovum.

Well I'm back from my scan - good news is that's baby is fine - just the one (thank goodness LOL). DH wasn't going to actually come into the scan with me, well he asked if I wanted him to - and I said yes - so he did.

He didn't say much, or hold my hand (like he did when I had my scans with the DS's ) but part way through he did ask how big it was now - 6.2cm was the answer he was given and he passed a half smile and said that it's been a while so he couldn't remember.

When we got out it was all "I'm sure YOU are happy on two counts (heartbeat and just the one)" but at least he was there with me.

He's gone back to work now but hopefully as things progress he'll come round.

Message withdrawn

Can't stop on here long, as going out tonight, there's a special service at church (bribed DH with a rice pudding! )

Praying for you fannyannie, and podmog's DS, and for you LWTG.

God bless
